The acclaimed writer of DMZ and NORTHLANDERS takes his first creative stab at the WildStorm Universe! To call the superpowered girl known as Bliss “edgy” is a massive understatement. Like all the DV8 kids. she’s a creature with primal powers and in her case, she’s the giver of either pain or pleasure. Now, as the “goddess” Bliss to an all-female band of warriors, she sees potential in her adopted tribe and sets out to tip the balance of power in their favor. Don’t miss part 2 of this 8-issue miniseries telling the story of how eight teenagers ruled a world.

Pulls
I stay away from Wildstorm unless it is ABC.
Brian Wood has never really let me down.
First issue of this set up some very interesting possibilities.
This was a huge surprise for me. Totally loved it and it reminded me of the great short Hickman in "Breaking into comics the marvel way".
This was a great first issue so im on for this one… hopefully it stays great.
Seriously, you thought this was good?
i was friggen hyped for that first issue. I loved the concept, I loved the idea that these narcissistic nihilistic superheroes would go insane and lose sight of their egos when placed in a environment removed from society. It sounded like the superhero version of Lord of the Flies. Just think about how awesome that sounds. It sounds kick-ass.
Brian Wood didn’t really deliver. He isn’t a good writer. He sucks the interest out of his own concepts but writing boring friggen comics. very disappointing
I’m interested enough to check out the next few issue.
@ed Northlanders is amazing and DMZ has been fantastic until some recent languishing. I’m not really sure where you’re going with that.
@vadamovens: i read both of those titles. i don’t agree with you. Wood’s work is very medicore at best
fair enough
Of course, it IS all a matter of opinion, but I have to say that Northlanders is easily in my top 5 every month. I only picked up DV8 #1 b/c of Wood, and though it is not the type of comic I would normally get, I am interested to see where he takes it.
fair enough
Not mediocre, more a learning curve, I hope. Its only his second attemp at "superheroes". The art alone is well worth my $3. I’m betting that by the end of this mini we will have a cool story. Wood’s always write for the trades format. Personally, I really like Northlanders.
